Link is not working. When I go to website it says “you must be a subscriber to view this page”.

Has anyone had trouble signing up , I went to the link above a bunch of times and it takes me to their website but all I see is a girl with lipstick and the word spotlight but no place to sign up.
Ugh!! Frustrating

I signed up for the wait list but I have a good feeling this is going to be another Birchbox. I know I shouldn’t be skeptical but something is telling me the “full-size” products are going to be eyeliners and lipsticks. What really bothers me is the advertisement of the Anastasia contour pallet (we all know that’s what it is) because they will never, ever put a $40 pallet into a $10 box.

Here’s my thought & what I suggested to Liz. My concern is that it’ll be BB/Ipsy etc., type mini’s & the full size item each month, will be from their in house Macy’s brand makeup line. I could be wrong, but when I was navigating around the site, after I saw the advertisements for “M by Macy’s,” I just got this feeling.. I mean, honestly I had no idea they had their own line of makeup, so what better way to get it out there, then a $10 box, hidden underneath all the brands we love? Don’t get me wrong, I’m still 100% on board, I’m just going in knowing, this may be the case. If it’s too good to be true…? I still can’t wait. This should open the doors for a whole new world of department stores, brands, etc and make things very interesting & very competitive!

Wont let me sign up? Just lets me enter my name and email addy then NOTHING. Just takes me back to the top of the screen? What the what? Guess its not meant to be for me! Dang and it looked pretty nice! 🙁

Whats that have to do with what I wrote? I didnt even get “anything” to pop up. The page was just frozen. I think they were having issues with their website. Trust me I understand the concept of a waitlist, Kelli….

$10 is hard to resist, even though I have zero interest in perfume. May just sign up, anyway, and swap away the perfume (another sign of sub box addiction= signing up for something you know you won’t entirely use)

Interesting. Sephora now Macy’s. They maybe after Birchbox’s success. I never tried Ipsy because I felt that curation/brands was for more younger demographics and more makeup than skincare items. I had better luck with BB. I think the competition is great. Let’s see if they let us customize by creating a profile or some kind of point system like BB.

Well I give up on customer service already. I called and they send you to someone who barely speaks english then she had no idea what I was talking about. Finally after explaining it several times I just hung up.

Yasss! So glad that the prices are so reasonable. Hoping Nordstroms will do the same. Liz, did you sign up? When I tried to sign up, it said my email addresses were already on the wait list –and I entered three different emails (yes, I’m a full fledged sub addict) and all three were already waitlisted. Weird.

Yes. I added my email to the list, and just went back to check with some random email addresses, and got the “Email already in the wait list” message every time. I just sent them a message through ZenDesk to see if they are aware of the issue.

The first two I tried it said they were already in the waitlist. I may have used them to order from macys.com before, though, and perhaps they are going through a past customer list? The third is a test account I had made for a domain name I own and that one was not in the waitlist. Of course I don’t check that so if I get the invite, how will I ever know?

I’m thinking it might be a domain name issue. The first time I tried with my mysubscriptionaddiction.com email account it registered, then I tried signing up with a different MSA email account, and got the message that I was already on the wait list.

Thanks for letting us know. Apparently our developers were updating the form validation and pushed some code that isn’t working correctly. Instead of blocking spambots they are now blocking everyone! Hopefully they’ll have it fixed asap. Sorry about that.

This looks like it could be good… but I think I have too many subs and products right now as it is (I’m trying to resist signing up)…
and I’m still waiting on my Sephora invite too… and the longer I have to wait, the less interested I’m becoming

Yeah, I think Sephora may have miscalculated their slow roll-out. Waiting can either build buzz or kill interest. As for Macy’s, I deffo signed up. I dumped a bunch of boxes this month so I’m happy to get a couple new ones if it’s in the $10 price range — I think that’s the perfect amount for a box. It’s smack-dab in the middle of WTF-ville, let’s go for it. 😀

having a full size product in the box should make this a really good deal. I tried to sign up with my regular email and it said it was already on the wait list, so I’m assuming those with Macy’s accounts have been added to the list automatically.
